[Q] Cannot connect to PC- USB Driver problem

Hi-
I recently installed BAMF 2.0 and now I am unable to connect my phone to the PC. I keep getting an error on my PC saying "unknown device". I am guessing this is a driver problem on my PC. Does anyone know what the solution to this is?
Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same problem with 2.0. It's never been an issue before with a BAMF rom. Still trying to find a fix.

This is a known issue for gb.
Put the phone in internet-pass through for a few seconds. Then switch to disk drive.

Worked like a charm. Thanks.

[Q] USB not recognized

Hi All
I just have got a sensation. I cannot connect to my laptop anymore, it worked fine for a few days, but every time I connect it to my laptop, a message pops up saying that USB is not recognized, I have tried on three computers (XP + Win 7) have installed/uninstalled HTC sync with the drivers.
On the phone itself, I don't get a notification showing the options for USB connection (Charge, HTC sync etc), however it charges fine using the USB cable while connected to the PC.
I have reset my phone to factory default, formatted SD card, have tried another USB cable but no luck.
I just do not understand what can be wrong all of a sudden, once it was working fine last night but not today
Can someone please help? I have sent an email to HTC support already with this information. I'll see what they got to say about this.

Wish If i could help but I'm having the same problem since yesterday And I've tried all of the above with no luck!
Device running in stock rom, unlocked & used for 10 days only.

I had that same problem once on my Desire HD, I removed the sd card, re-inserted it and started the phone, was all good from that point on.
It might work for you too.

Any updates on this, guys ?

I had the same problem..
I used another usb kabel that fixed it for me

No solution for me yet!! i've searched up & down but still nothing.. its getting really frustrating.
i might get rid of it all together after all.

USB & Internet pass-through
I had this problem too. I uninstalled HTC Sync and all related HTC programmes from my laptop. Downloaded the latest HTC Sync from HTC site, and installed. After that, it worked again.
My Sensation is rooted.

i have this very same problem.
tried 4 different computers, windows xp, windows 7 x486, windows 7 x64...
tried different cables... different roms... different kernels... dettached sd card... umounted sd... mounted sd... debug mode... default modes upon connection... the problem is definitely in the phone itself...
the computer simply ignores the connection, no sign of it. the phone behaves like it is connected to a charger, not to usb.
can anybody help us?

I am also getting the same problem now!! I was downgrading to GB, then again i went to JB miui. Then i wanted to format my sdcard, formatted it through PC, and i installed new CM9 rom on it. Now, after the CM9 rom is booting, the device is not recognized by windows!!!
EDIT : Removed SDCARD, then powered off, then reinserted SD, and rebooted into recovery. It got mounted from recovery, and installed a new ROM. Now it works flawlessly!!!

what rom did you install ?

Changing your cable may fix this problem.
Buy a new one.

[Q] Flashed CM, problem updating driver?

Hi all
I have successfully flashed Cyanogen nightly on my phone. However, when I connect it to my PC, it doesn't give me an option to transfer files to and from my phone to my computer. All I see is the USB debugging on my notification bar. I have tried this advice from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13636060&postcount=1465
I have also installed the drivers from LG. When I use the support tool to update it, it says that they cannot find a connection between the phone and my computer. Would that possibly be an issue?
Thanks!
EDIT UPDATE: When I follow the instruction from the link above, I get an error saying "Windows found driver for your device but encountered an error while trying to install it.
LGE Android Composite USB Device
This device cannot start.(Code 10)
I hope I can get some help! Thanks again!

I'm gonna be home in a minute if you want me to upload the LG driver exe I used and know works I can.

Yeah, that would be great. Let me know when you can.

I really hope it works for you *fingers crossed*

Unfortunately that didn't work either.
What's weird is that when I connect my phone to my computer, that icon that lets you know that the USB is connected doesn't show up at all. The icon where you can select to copy files to/from your computer.
I've tried many things but haven't fixed this problem yet.

I really hope someone else can help sorry

Yeah, thanks for your help.

Have you tried restarting both the phone and the pc?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Yes I sure have. Any other suggestions?

When I try to update the LG drivers via the software support tool it gets stuck on checking the connection with the phone and tells me to unplug the battery, restart the phone, and try again. When I do that, I get the same problem.

I'm still working on this same issue. Today I used the ROM for recovery linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644
It worked and I was able to transfer files to my internal SD with the stock ROM. I then flashed CM7 once again but had the same problem. I then used the CM Nexus GB by Faux123 and once again had the same problem. When I plug in my USB, debugging icon shows up but the USB transfer doesn't show at all.
I find it weird that it worked with the stock ROM but not with either of CM7 or CM Nexus.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

Problems with USB Mounting to PC [SOLVED]

Hi Guys & Gals,
I am having a problem getting my Desire to mount the SD Card to a PC recently. This happened with ShadowHawk v21 and it is happening with Endymion v3.0. I have put MIUI on there and it works fine, so I know the hardware is still good.
I don't get any option to mount the card as USB storage from the phone when I connect it to the PC at all.
Any ideas - am I doing something stupid or is this a 'feature' of the newer Sense ROMs?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Simon

If you have 4EXT Recovery, try to mount it from recovery, there is an option to mount usb storage. Maybe thats a way to go?

Thanks for the suggestion, but if I am doing that then I may as well just put the SD-Card into my USB adapter and connect it direct to my PC.
It just seems to me that this has only been an issue on the more recent Sense ROMs, so I was wondering if it was a known problem or not.

Okay, did not know you had an adapter ;p
But if its working it can be good to know for others facing the same problem, so you may try it out anyways

Same Problem
I have the same problem. Since upgrading to Endymion v3.0. Didn't have this problem in Endymion v2.2 or v2.1 or any other ROM.
Have you managed to fix it?

Unfortunately not mate. I stuck CyanogemMon & MIUI back on and they both work correctly with the USB connected for mounting the SD card, but the newer Sense ROMs don't seem to work correctly with this. I assume it must just be a few of us that suff3r from this - if it affected everybody then I think there would be more of an uproar

Maybe you should ask on the Endymion thread. I can't post in any development threads until I have 10 posts...

Finally got round to doing that. Got a reply from 'enigmaamit' with the following;-
I don't know why you're getting that problem mate. I've been on Endymion through all it's versions since the very beginning, and USB access has worked just fine on all of them. The PC always recognizes my phone as a mass storage device when i want it to.
That said, there is a small bug that USB disconnects when you pull down the notification drawer while connected as USB storage. However, there is a workaround that works beautifully and consistently for me as described below:
Here's my set-up in case it helps:
Disable the feature that asks you whether to connect as "Charge only" or "USB Mass storage" and set it to Charge only by default.
Then, whenever you connect to PC via USB cable, just pull down the notification drawer and select USB mode when you want to transfer files.
However, while connected, if you pull down the notification drawer, the USB often disconnects.
I've found that if you go to RCMIX tweaks and select "Default Quicksettings", under Notification settings, that problem disappears, and the USB doesn't disconnect anymore, even when you pull the notification drawer.

Works perfectly - hopefully this will help you other guys with the same problem.

Nice of you to spread the word. I'm sure more people will benefit from this post.
As you have most probably learnt by experience, it's always a good idea to post ROM specific queries on the ROM thread itself. Answers are more forthcoming from a community already on that ROM. And Endymion has a great support framework, with active, enthusiastic users and a gem of a man as a developer (Lowveld).
I've never seen a query that has gone un-discussed or un-solved over there yet. I'm glad you've joined the Endymion family.
For those that haven't, i invite you to come on over and have a go, we have cookies!!

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely try it out...

Something is very wrong with this.
I had Endymion 3.0 and after realizing that I don't like it... Got back to Cyanogen(full wipe) and my USB mass storage connection doesn't work anymore at all, there isn't an notification/option to change it to anything from charge only, usb tethering says usb not connected. Not in bootloader, recovery, rom. Tried several SD cards, second usb cable, couple of computers, older Cyanogen builds. Nothing.
How to get back stock rom, no recovery and s-on without USB so I can send it for repair?

After flashing EB v2.5 I could no longer acess files via usb cord, I have since switched to Phoenixblood v1.1 with the same results. Upon searching for similar issues I have found there are many people with this same problem and cannot seem to find a resoultion, I have tried different drivers with no luck. Here are some qoutes from others with the same issue:

I am having the exact same problem. It only charges. Other than that there is no other indication either from the computer or the phone that it is even plugged into the computer. Really cramping my style. I am sure I speak for you in saying anyone's help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

And my phone gives me the option to use as mass storage but nothing happens. Any ideas? Does anyone else have problems with this?

Different USB? Sometimes they can "die."

I tried a different cable and a different computer with a different op sys

just for the sake of troubleshooting, can you take a screenshot of your device manager before and after you plug it in? I had my phone randomly do something similar, but I just wiped my system and reinstalled the drivers and all was fine, different problem than yours but any information you can give us is helpful.

happened to me... what i did was turn on usb debugging with the usb storage and apparently it work...

I noticed I couldn't mount USB mass storage on CM7 or clockwork recovery....using multiple computers. I fixed this by installing the LG USB drivers on my desktop....I've had no issues since. Though I had previously tried the same thing with my laptop and it didn't work.

If turning USB debugging off then on doesn't work I reinstall the drivers. Its happened to me once or twice and that seems to do the trick.
